My vocabulary is different from most posts and so the 'first person prime' is hard to comprehend. My views do not derive from that thread. 'My' 1st person views are derived from 'impacts' (I will accept a better word) I get - interpreted (adjusted?) according to my 'mindcontent' - experinece, knowledge-base, personality, - which means that it is by no means primary. My percept of reality is a composite of them all. Yours is different. If you tell me about yours, I will 'catch' them in the form my 1st person(ality) understands them, not as you thought it. I wonder if I "caught" your question? John M > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
